“One has to be able to convince the adolescent through the sheer weight of one’s indisputable knowledge and expertise and by giving him waterproof reasons for everything one does or expects of him. If the pupil cannot see sound reasons in all the content given to him, he will begin to doubt the rightness of his previous life.”
